Wedding Party
Taylor Widzinski
Maid of Honor
Taylor and Kait have been best friends since the very beginning of 9th grade, creating over 16 years of friendship! Over the years, Taylor and Kait spent time taking vacations in Caseville, adventures like skydiving, and experiencing almost every high and low in life together. Kait was recently Taylor's maid of honor in her 2023 wedding and is incredibly excited to be sharing this experience with her. Interests: Harry Potter, chicken tenders, her golden retriever Bo, and going to the gym.
Tyler Pine
Best Man
Better known as "Whip". Tyler and Reid have been friends since middle school when they met through mutual friend (and groomsman) Josh Pierson. It started with poker on Friday nights at the Pierson's house and late-night gaming sessions. He has since hung up the battle rifle and now dons the TSR2 driver which he shoots out on the golf course. Reid and Whip bond through sports betting and golf which are two of their favorite things in life. Nicknames: Whip. Tejwhip. Whipper snapper. TJP11. Tye. TP.
Gretchen Foraker
Matron of Honor
Gretchen is the sister of the Bride and Kait's first best friend in this world. You wouldn't be able to tell that there is a 14-year age difference between them! They both share a love for cult classics, 80s & 90s music and quoting Boy Meets World. Interests: Yelling to her 3 children to clean up their mess, adult beverages, General Hospital, and Ohio State Buckeyes.
Brett Weirauch
Groomsman
Brett is the brother of the groom and the longest-known groomsman. They met on July 2nd, 1992 when Reid was born. They were born almost exactly one year apart; the term "Irish Twins" has been thrown around, although everybody talks about how different these two are. They bond over video games and their love of animals. From making forts growing up and playing Ratchet & Clank, he is now Millie and Oakley's favorite Uncle and is always happy to throw the ball for Oakley to fetch and to rub Millie's belly.
Samantha Tannahill
Bridesmaid
Sam is one of two people involved in Reid and Kait's meeting! Sam and Kait met when they both worked at Vince & Joe's Gourmet Market. They both went to Macomb Community College and Central Michigan University together. Sam is a party starter- you can definitely find her on the dancefloor doing the choreographed dance to WAP by Cardi B. Interests: Her twin girls, wine, endless amounts of Bluey and Daniel the Tiger, and a good corndog.
Anthony Tannahill
Groomsman
Better known as "Nino" or "Neens". Anthony, along with his now wife Samantha, were instrumental in bringing Kait and Reid together. Nino and Reid met back in the 8th grade. Nino was the loud and boisterous classmate, while Reid was a little more reserved. Nino played soccer in high school and talked to girls- Reid played baseball and did not talk to girls. After high school, they grow closer in their college days and now call each other some of the best of friends. They continue to bond over Detroit and Michigan sports, especially Red Wings hockey. Nicknames: Neens. Nino. 9-O. Tony (he hates this). Daddy.
Marisa Morello
Bridesmaid
Marisa and Kait met through mutual friends as she was previously dating (now married) to one of Reid's longest friends, Cody. They both share a love for the finer things in life on a budget and a good margarita. Kait was honored to have stood by Marisa's side in her 2022 wedding. Interests: Catching flights, reading, margaritas, and always open to learning something new.
Cody Morello
Groomsman
Cody and Reid have also been friends since middle school. Kid could ball back in his younger days, and was known as one of the best shooters on the 7th grade basketball team (best man Tyler would argue this). These two have always bonded over their love of sports. While everybody else was talking about the school dance and the date they were going on, these two were making NFL mock drafts and outlining what their favorite sports team should do in the offseason. Now Draftkings and Fanduel quiver when they see the sight of these two logging into their sportsbook apps. Interests: Manchester United soccer. His hair. Golf. Call of Duty. Detroit and Michigan State Spartan sports.
Stephanie Huong
Bridesmaid
Steph and Kait met through mutual friends and it was friendship at first sight! Kait was immediately drawn to Steph's heart of gold and her free spirit. They both enjoy their girl's night together which always involves a spread of 'girl dinner' and endless laughs. Interests: Music festivals, a good laugh, camping, and her dog Zeus (such a good boy!).
Austin Drake
Groomsman
Austin is Reid's longest-known friend. Two of the best 10-year-old baseball players joined forces on the Anchor Bay Angels and ended up taking the team to the Federation Baseball World Series in Puerto Rico. While their athletic skills mostly diminished from there on out, their friendship did not. Reid was Austin's best man back when he got married. Auss works for Bally Sports as a graphics producer/stat researcher. Any stats you hear from George Blaha or Special K during that next Pistons game, are coming straight from the 'Stat Goat's' mouth. In turn, he gets blamed by the entire friend group for absolutely anything and everything that goes wrong technically with the app/channel or anything that goes wrong with any Detroit sports team. It's only right. Nicknames: Auss. Ausstrich. The Big Strich. Austy. Stin. Aussie 2 Flossie. The Stat Goat. Drake929.
Mary Gasior
Bridesmaid
Mary and Kait briefly met when making graduation caps at Central Michigan University, and unbeknownst to them, they would be re-introduced when Kait entered the "friend group" years later and would become fast friends! Mary and Kait bond over good food, their men's love for each other, and nostalgic music. Interests: Her two little girls, a good bonfire, anything gluten-free, and fun fact: was once Miss Bellaire (MI) in 2009.
Jeffrey Gasior
Groomsman
Jeff and Reid became friends a little later in life after college through Josh as they were roommates at CMU. They had an instant connection when Reid stared into his glowing, beautiful blue eyes. I mean how could you not? Jeff & Reid bond over their love for playing golf and drinking adult beverages- ESPECIALLY doing both at the same time. His one downfall is that he's a fan of the Green Bay Packers. Nobody knows why, but everybody hates him for it. GO LIONS! Interests: Green Bay Packers. Chicken cock (bourbon). St. Louis Blues. His two daughters (I guess). Labatt blue light. Robert Thomas.
Brianna Pierson
Bridesmaid
Bri and Kait met through mutual friends and she married one of Reid's long-time friends, Josh in 2022! Bri and Kait love to talk about old TV shows like One Tree Hill and Gilmore Girls. They also enjoy a good laugh, girl talk, and a few glasses of wine together! Interests: Being a mom to her little boy, wine, good food, and yoga.
Joshua Pierson
Groomsman
Josh was one of Reid's first friends that he met in middle school. The kid looked like a nerd and Reid needed him to make it to high school so they became friends. From that point on, these two have been friends for life bonding over Detroit and UofM sports, and their mutual love for golf. Reid was a groomsman at Josh's wedding to now wife Brianna (Bri). Interests: All University of Michigan sports. His baby son, Caleb. Being a downer whenever something goes semi-wrong for a Detroit sports team. Golf. 99 bananas shots.
